Capsule endoscopy has been shown to detect small bowel inflammatory changes better than any other imaging modality. Selection criteria have been optimized to increase the yield of capsule endoscopy in patients suspected of having Crohn's disease. Capsule endoscopy allows for earlier diagnosis of Crohn's disease of the small bowel and improved diagnosis of colitis in patients where it is unclear if they suffer from Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. A test capsule is available to assess for small bowel strictures and thus avoid capsule retention. It is envisioned that the manner in which we treat Crohn's disease in the future will change, based on earlier diagnosis and treatment aimed at mucosal healing rather than symptom improvement.
胶囊内镜比任何其他成像方式都能更好地检测小肠炎症变化。已经优化了选择标准，以增加怀疑患有克罗恩病的患者进行胶囊内镜检查的检出率。胶囊内镜检查可更早诊断小肠克罗恩病，并改善那些病因不明的结肠炎（克罗恩病或溃疡性结肠炎）患者的诊断。有一个测试胶囊可用于评估小肠狭窄，从而避免胶囊滞留。可以预见，未来我们治疗克罗恩病的方式将发生改变，基于更早的诊断和治疗，旨在实现黏膜愈合而非症状改善。
